Poland used to be one of the world’s most ethnically homogenous countries. That’s no longer the case. https://www.politico.eu/article/poland-changing-population-political-immigration-border-donald-tusk-election-pis/
>“Ten years ago we had 100,000 migrants in Poland, today it’s 2.5 million people. We need to think about whether we are undermining social cohesion. It seems to me that this number is currently the borderline,” Maciej Duszczyk, the deputy interior minister, told Poland’s TVN television last year.
>According to estimates, some 2.5 million to 2.8 million immigrants live in Poland, or from 6.6 percent to 7.5 percent of a population of 37.5 million people. That’s a seismic change from the not-too-distant past: After World War II, which saw most Polish Jews murdered by Germany and minorities enthically cleansed by the Soviets, ethnic Poles made up over 98 percent of the population.
